SoundChain International Composition Competition

The SoundChain International Composition Competition is a one-round composition competition for composers under the age of 40 for new multi-channel and stereo electroacoustic compositions. The competition is held every two years.

The aim of the competition is to encourage the creation and creation of new innovative accusmatic compositions and to inspire young domestic and international composers by creating related professional publications reflecting newly created works and their technical and aesthetic character, and by continuously exploring this dynamically developing compositional field.

Compositions submitted to the competition must be between 7 and 20 minutes in length, must not have been previously published, premiered or commissioned, and are then judged anonymously.

The application deadline is September 30, 2026.

The gala concert featuring the winners and other selected compositions will take place on November 29, 2026, at the Divadlo na Orlí.
